Managing Country
Putting back together what is broken apart.
The Mbabaram community need to re-establish connection to country with a strong sense of belonging, purpose and the desire to achieve future aspirations. This will be achieved with the strength of our Elders guidance to practice our old culture. The knowledge we gain will enable a stronger sense of ownership and increase our will to better manage country. With our new strength of purpose, we can tackle the historical and present abuse of our land with informed action. We will practice our culture and teach the young who will love and live with cultural values and principles while also being dynamic and adaptive to life’s changes.
We will create and implement economic opportunities that generate income for our organisation, projects and families.
Actions:
- Prioritise concerns and develop an interim action plan.
- Incorporate action plan and implementation of management strategies within the Cultural Heritage Assessment and Management project.
